The US Navy Seals who killed Osama Bin Laden were carrying a pocket guide to
the occupants of his compound that was so detailed it suggests the CIA may
have had a mole inside.

The document, left behind in the compound and obtained by The Sunday Times,
lists the names and ages of those who were present, including Bin Laden’s
wives, children and grandchildren.

It details where they lived in the compound and when some of them arrived. It
also suggests Bin Laden had fathered twins in captivity. It refers to “two
unidentified children” born this year to his youngest wife Amal, 28.
